DIY How to Fix a Flat Tire EASY!

Watch How to Fix a Rear Flat Tire EASY https://youtu.be/z_kHFUZFZts

Don't listen to these people telling you not to use this for long term repair. I've done this same thing about 12 times since 1988 and not a single one failed. I drove them all until the tread was worn out and the tire was at the end of its life cycle.... not a single one ever popped out or caused problems. The worst case, the thing would fall out and you would just lose air slowly and end up with a flat and you can put the spare on, then get a new tire. No big whoop.

Remember not to put the screw on the ground.

Why so many dislikes? The guy just showed you how to do it yourslef. That's a new thing that i have learned, for free. Thanks!

I have 3 cars and in the last 5 years I've fixed a flats on all 3 with the same kit bought from Wallmart for a few $$. I also fixed flats for family, friends, etc., numerous times. It's cheap, works well and I've NEVER had a problem with a tire I fixed. Yes, the rubber strip is hard to push in but if you can't manage to push it in then you really need to start doing a few push ups. It's also easier with the wheel off the car. I'm 69 years old and I still fix my own flats and will continue to do so until I drop dead.

This is a "must -have "Tyre Repair Kit. Never leave home without it. It has helped me twice - once on my wife's car, and last weekend, on my Audi Q7.

Thank you for showing how to fix a flat without removing the tire. Your instructions are excellent, and easy to follow. God bless you, and keep making great car repair videos.

One key step worth mentions here: The insertion tool got the split head and requires to pry open a bit. This gap is allowing the insertion tool to be pulled off the tire without pulling out the repair plug. I learned that the hard way and would like to point it out here.

Life saver I didn't even have to take my front tire off! I was done in 5 minutes flat thank you!

I bought one of these after seeing this video a while ago, and thought I would share my experiences with you all. In the time I have owned it, i have successfully repaired my own tyre, but did have to re-inflate it. I had a small electric pump too. Later this year I saw someone stranded roadside with two kids on the motorway with a flat tyre. typical that she didn't have a spare and no mobile phone. So i play good Samaritan and had the tyre repaired and inflated in less than 10 minutes. Well worth the £2+ free p&p from eBay that included 10 extra strips!

You had the simplest video by far. I plugged my tire with ease! Thanks a lot man💯

I watched this video the other day before taking a screw out of my own tyre. It worked. Thanks dude 👌

over 4.5 million people have watched this video. you have helped so many, including me. thank you for that. well done good sir. 😀

I have been plugging tires for 40 plus years, the added glue works as a lubricant that lets the plug slide right in the hole and gives added support to the plug to adhere to the tire. trust me (voice of experience) . you should never have to push with that much force. also cut off the plug with side cutters when done to make a smooth finish. good luck with your future jobs and vid's. thank you, Lou

Thanks for sharing this. It’s good to know how todo it yourself. Most mechanics are not interested in small jobs like this. They’ll tell me to come back a couple of hours later so they can finish off all their bigger jobs first.

These are brilliant. I'm from the UK , I bought a kit for 5 pounds and fixed 2 tyres . 3 years later there still ok . Though I only do low mileage each year and they only just passed the last mot.

It's a quick fix people, for an emergency only. chill on the hate mail! I'm sure he got his tire fixed properly.

I've plugged tires for 50 years and with my vehicles and trailers that's 120 I have to deal with. Never ever had a problem, no blow outs, nothing at all. So let me take a wild guess who lobbied for the law against plugging a tire? As for warranties, we all know companies take any way out they can and always try to shift the blame on us. Has anyone had a blow out from plugging a tire? Ive heard a hundred times "it could happe" but never known any it happened to.

If you prep the hole with rubber cement. ,it will make the insertion of the plug easier to install and provide a better seal.

I wasn't too sure about this kind of thing but it was all I had available when I went to help a friend who was broken down with a big hole in the middle of a 9x18 wheel with lowest of profile tyres on a Porsche 997 and the only thing I had to make an attempt at getting the car back home was a kit like this and just like the video it was very straightforward and easy to do but the cool bit was this happening on a bank holiday weekend and the tyre repair held up from the Friday night to the Tuesday morning when the tyre place was open. You can't argue with that!
